How can I effectively manage and pay off my roll over debt to avoid accumulating more interest and fees?

What is credit card debt negotiation for?

Credit card debt negotiation can be used to dispute any unauthorized fees and charges. It can also be used to negotiate terms (such as interest fees, late payments) and lower one's assumed debt.


What fee over time could lead to debt?

High-interest fees on credit cards or loans can accumulate over time, leading to significant debt. If borrowers only make minimum payments, the interest can compound, increasing the total owed. Additionally, late payment fees and annual fees can further exacerbate the financial burden. Without careful management, these fees can spiral out of control, resulting in long-term debt issues.


Can the bill collector who bought the bad credit card charge interest over the interest that has already accumulated before?

Collection agencies can only charge interest if you agreed to it in your original contract. If they actually bought the debt they shouldn't be able to charge any additional interest on it since you did not sign a contract with them allowing them to do so. Please keep in mind that not all collection agencies buy debt. Some are still collecting on behalf of the original creditor which means interest and fees could continue to accrue.

Can a debt collector add interest fees etc to a debt they have against you in Ohio?

In Ohio, a debt collector can add interest and fees to a debt if the original agreement or contract allows for it. Additionally, state laws may permit reasonable fees associated with the collection process. However, any additional charges must be disclosed to the debtor, and the total amount owed must comply with state regulations regarding interest rates and fees. It's important for debtors to review their contracts and consult legal advice if they believe fees are being improperly applied.

Is it legal for a credit card to charge overlimit fees on an account when the overlimit was caused by late fees and interest and not charges?

Unfortuantely yes. For them it is clear and easy profit. Not a legal expert, but from experience, calling mbna to complain and threatening legal action (work for a debt collector) was effective in getting the overlimit fees refunded immediately.
